1 Introduction

Integrated Urban Development Project (IUDP) is funded by Asian Development Bank (ADB) andGovernment of Nepal in four Municipalities/SMC in order to develop the urban environmentalinfrastructures. These four municipalities/SMC are: Nepalgunj SMC, Siddharthanagar Municipality,Janakpur SMC and Dharan SMC. The project cost is $ 83.87 millions. The project started from July2012 and will end in June 2017.

The project provides the population in the municipalities/SMC of Nepalgunj, Siddharthanagar,Janakpur and Dharan with better access to municipal infrastructure and services in a sociallyinclusive manner. In accordance with the priorities of each municipality/SMC, integrated urbanenvironmental improvements, including drainage systems, solid waste management (SWM)facilities, and urban roads, will be implemented in Nepalgunj, Siddharthanagar and Janakpurmunicipalities/SMC. A water supply development subproject will be implemented in Dharan SMC.The project will also undertake community development programs (CDP), focusing primarily onpoverty pockets in the municipalities/SMC and communities that may not benefit directly from majorinfrastructure improvement subprojects. Gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) will bemainstreamed in all subprojects in the municipalities/SMC, and the capacity to address GESI in theMinistry of Urban Development (MoUD) strengthened by establishing an appropriate institutionalstructure and mechanisms for GESI mainstreaming.

5 Environmental Safeguards Implementation Arrangements

The following are institutional roles and responsibilities to ensure IEE, EIA and EMPs areimplemented during design and implementation stages.

Project Coordination Office (PCO): The PCO, with assistance from the project management supportconsultant is to:

• confirm IEEs/EMPs are updated based on detailed designs• confirm EMPs are included in the bidding documents and civil works contracts;• ensure contractor EMPs are prepared by contractors prior to construction and endorsed by

PIUs;• establish a system to monitor environmental safeguards of the project including monitoring

the indicators set out in the monitoring plan of the EMP;• facilitate and confirm overall compliance with all Government rules and obtain all required

environmental clearances and any other environmental permits prior to contract award;• supervise and provide guidance to the PIUs to properly carry out environmental monitoring

and reporting;• review, monitor and evaluate the effectiveness with which the EMPs are implemented, and

recommend necessary corrective actions to be taken as necessary;• consolidate quarterly environmental monitoring reports from PIUs and submit semi-annual

environmental monitoring report to ADB;• ensure timely disclosure of final IEE/EMPs in locations and form accessible to the public,• address, record and report on any grievances brought about through the Grievance Redress

Mechanism in a timely manner as per the IEE/EIAs.

Project Implementation Units (PIUs): The four PIUs in Nepalgunj, Siddharthanagar, Janakpur andDharan, with the assistance of design supervision consultants, are to:

• ensure the draft IEE/EMP prepared during the feasibility study is updated during detaileddesign stage, where necessary;

• ensure EMPs are included in bidding documents and civil works contracts;

8 Compliance on Environmental Safeguards during Construction

Construction works of Storm Water Drainage and Road almost completed in Nepalgunj, andconstruction work ongoing in Siddharthanagar and Janakpur. Water supply work at Dharan isongoing. Solid waste management and land fill site construction in Nepalgunj and Siddharthanagaris just started. Joint topographical survey of landfill site and its approach road is completed inNepalgunj. At Siddharthanagar yet to be started due to obstruction by local people of land fill site.

A meeting was held at PCO on November 11, 2016 on environmental safeguard status and relatedissues of ongoing sub-projects of IUDP. It was participated by PD/PCO, DPDs/PCO, Mr. PadamBahadur Chand/ADB staff consultant, TL/PMSC and Environmental expert/PMSC.

During field visit on November in Siddharthanagar, it is found inadequate supply of OHS. Thecontractor has been suggested to supply sufficient number of the safety gears and first aid withrequired medicines in all work sites. The Contractor was strongly advised to compel the workers touse protective clothing during work hours for their safety. Relocation and reinstatement of drinkingwater pipeline, shifting of electric poles etc are provisioned in BoQ and being done along thecorridor.

Dharan SMC has followed good practice of OHS, but OHS to be improved by Janakpur,Siddharthanagar and Nepalgunj municipality/SMC due to inadequate supply of safety tools (Helmet,Boots, Globes, Jacket, First aid tool kits).Implementation of EMP is not found fully followed.Contractors have submitted environmental monitoring report by checklist, attached in Annex-IV.

EMPs are incorporated into the bidding and contract documents. Contract Clauses onEnvironmental protection are included in contract document as well. Environmental mitigation andenhancement measures are incorporated in bill of quantities. Municipality/sub-project wiseprovisional cost for environmental mitigation is presented in the following table.

9 Monitoring and Reporting System on Environmental Safeguard

Regular compliance monitoring has been not done by DSC safeguard Expert due to completion ofinput of Experts. The remaining input of DSC environmental Safeguard expert has been given inTable 6. Semiannual report is submitted to ADB regularly, but municipality yet to be submittedquarterly environmental monitoring reports to the PCO. Due to the lack of regular quarterlyenvironmental monitoring report from municipalities, semiannual report could not address allinformation.Table 6: Remaining Input of Environmental Safeguard Expert of all DSCNo. Sub-project Name Responsible personnel

10 Major Project Issues

The input of Environmental Safeguard Expert of all DSC has been almost completed. IEE report ondrainage and road construction of Janakpur and EIA report of solid waste management ofNepalgunj,Siddharthanagar and Janakpur yet to be approved.

At Siddharthanagar, construction work of landfill site is obstructed by local people. Close monitoringand additional enhancement program are needed to be launched for local residence in the land fillsite. At Nepalgunj also close monitoring is required during construction of landfill site.

Occupational health and safety measures have been found good at Dharan SMC, but partiallysatisfactory in Janakpur, Siddharthanagar and Nepalgunj municipality/SMC. To bring positivechange in this regard, corrective action plan is required.

The Contractor has stockpiled materials such as aggregates, sand, cement, steel and bricks atvarious work sites. However, the stockpiling of materials needs good planning to avoid obstructionto construction works and provide ease for traffic flow. Recommendation was made on properplanning of stockyard and piling of construction material with proper coverage to avoid surfacerunoffs.

11 Conclusion and Recommendation

The Contractor’s compliance towards environmental management has been rated good in DharanSMC other are fair. No accident and incident were registered. All concern stakeholders shall betrained on environmental issues to reduce adverse impacts related with the construction activities.


10

The followings are recommendations made based on progress status:

• Further work to be taken up in the next reporting period will focus on approval of IEE report ofJanakpur Storm water drainage and road and approval of EIA report of Solid wastemanagement and land fill site construction in Nepalgunj and Siddharthanagar.

• The input of Environmental Safeguard Expert of all DSC has been almost completed it need toincrease in Nepalgunj, Siddharthnagar, Dharan.

• Occupational health and safety measures have been found good at Dharan SMC, but partiallysatisfactory in Janakpur, Siddharthanagar and Nepalgunj municipality/SMC.

• Close monitoring and additional enhancement program to be launched for local residence inthe land fill site of Siddharthanagr municipality.

• Quarterly environmental monitoring report to be submitted regularly to PCO.
